At Work
I'm truly fortunate to have spent most of my working
life in and around what has to be THE most exiting industry —
Information Technology. And in an era where the most
amazing advances just keep on happening.
One of the great virtues of working in IT is that you are
exposed to a great range of organisations and many industry
verticals. Best of all, I have been privileged to have
worked in many different and challenging positions, for many different types
of organisations and with some great people.
I enjoy new, interesting challenges, working for companies with high
growth targets. I enjoy
making valuable contributions to the strategy formulation and
direction of the organisation, plus being a change agent to make
it happen. I have a proven ability to
establish and grow businesses or divisions in tough economic times using
a combination of my management, marketing,
communications, information technology and business
development expertise.
Check out my résumé
outlining career objectives, skills overview, experience,
education, interests etc. Take a look at some of the media stories
about my work. You can also review a portfolio
of marketing materials I have created over the years, or check out
details about the web sites I have produced.
